A lot of the problem is that the documents you mention above are now
out of date. For example, the command "smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U
Administrator" has been replaced by the "net join" command. I also
believe the "winbind uid" type entries in smb.conf have now been
deprecated

ads_join_realm: organizational unit member does not exist
(dn:ou=member,dc=CAMPUS,dc=ACU,dc=EDU)

ADS join did not work, trying RPC...

This may be because we've switched over to ActiveDirectory, and perhaps
Samba/winbind hasn't yet caught up?
